| Abstract: | In this paper we propose a new nonlinear cell-centered finite volume scheme
on general polygonal meshes for two dimensional anisotropic diffusion problems,
which preserves discrete maximum principle (DMP). The scheme is based on the so-called diamond scheme with a nonlinear treatment on its tangential flux to obtain a
local maximum principle (LMP) structure. It is well-known that existing DMP preserving diffusion schemes suffer from the fact that auxiliary unknowns should be presented as a convex combination of primary unknowns. In this paper, to get rid of
this constraint a nonlinearization strategy is introduced and it requires only a second-order accurate approximation for auxiliary unknowns. Numerical results show that
this scheme has second-order accuracy, preserves maximum and minimum for solutions and is conservative. |
